The LAO is looking for volunteers with skills and expertise in administration, fundraising, marketing, communications and media outreach.

You don’t need to live in Toronto to volunteer with the LAO. Many activities, projects and meetings can be done from your home with participation via teleconference and email.

If your skills and interests meet the LAO’s needs, please consider volunteering with us. To find out about becoming a volunteer, please contact us.
